Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Evangelism and mission in the countries of the former Soviet Union have lost their momentum. While about a decade ago masses of people flocked into evangelistic meetings organized by Evangelicals, nowadays only a few individuals can with difficulty be persuaded to join such a service. Critically minded, Russian speaking Evangelicals maintain that the decreased interest of the population in the Gospel is mainly due to the lack of an adequate indigenous missiology. Almost all missionary efforts are based on Western ideas and methods. All the same, the history of Eastern Slavic Protestantism demonstrates its own fascinating development which, when applied to the missionary practice in the post-Slavic area, certainly has the potential to breathe new life into the waning missionary work of the Evangelicals. In this situation, the missionary philosophy of the fathers of Eastern Slavic Protestantism, Ivan S. Prokhanov and Ivan E. Voronaev, is considered a potential source and important foundation of an indigenous East Slavic missiology.
